Hi buyer,

No you don't; however, if you belong to any countries which has FTA with Singapore, you'd be exempted from ABSD.

Do note the BSD of 3%, and SSD of up to 16% if you sell before 4 years.

Feel free to contact me, so that we can take this further.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

The answer is No, there will not be any ABSD that you can get back. There are some condos with ABSD discounts available, would you be keen to have more info? Thanks.

Dear buyer,

Onassis has made a good point. If ABSD is a big big concern, you can choose to go for commercial or industrial developments. Worse situation is to pay 7% GST which is a significant amount of savings. Furthermore, commercial properties can be sold anytime after purchase while Seller's Stamp Duty will be applicable should you sell within 4 years of purchasing a residential property or 3 years of purchasing an industrial property.

There are some pretty interesting projects out there you may consider if budget matches. Let me know more about your plans perhaps?

Good evening buyer,

I am afraid to inform you that you wont be able to get a refund of 15% absd if you sell your condo and leave Singapore in future.

If your intention is to stay, probably you can consider to apply for SPR so your ABSD will be reduced to 5%.

If it's meant for investment, you can consider industrial or commercial properties instead.

Hope my sharing is beneficial to your property purchase in Singapore.

Probably you can share more with me so I will be in a better position to advise and assist you further.

Hi Sir/Mdm,

1. You will not be able to get back the ABSD paid. You will also need to sell after 4 years in order to avoid the Seller Stamp Duty (SSD).

2. In this case, you may want to consider investing in a commercial property instead. Some commercial properties are giving a decent rental yield with good potential for future capital appreciation. Do refer to the link for one such property:

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your needs and be able to assist you further.

Morning,

ABSD are duties payable for purchase of residential properties. It's not refundable. Do also note that should you sell your property within 4 years from Option exercise date, you will be liable for Seller stamp duty as well.
